Dear Kittymom, your story also moved me. I read these stories and tears come to my eyes. thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure my mother's reaction would be the same to the medical marajuana, that is one reason she is holding off on the megace. I"m so glad that it worked for your Dad and it sounds like you made sure to create quality time together. I will put in call to the oncologist nurse, the doctor himself suggested the megace, but I'll talk with his nurse as well. thank you again, so much. I appreciate your thoughts.
